The Time Rashida Jones Dumped Robin Thicke for Al B. Sure

"I was 12, 13. His (Thicke's) dad was on Growing Pains and my mom was on Twin Peaks at the same time so we met at an ABC party and we flirted and exchanged numbers, landlines obviously."

"I called him and asked him to come to junior high prom with me. And then for whatever reason, I don't remember this, he reminded me of this a few years ago, I called him back and said, 'I'm so sorry. You can't come with me because Al B. Sure is actually coming with me.'"

The gag is that Rashida admits Al B. was just being nice by saying yes and didn't end up going with her, leaving Rashida with no date and working the Junior Prom door!

Rashida is interesting. I just watched her interview with Sam Cooke...the guy who does the black and white interviews if the name is wrong....she picks interesting moments to embrace her blackness to the public. I love her wry, quirky wit but she doesn't seem as authentic as she claims.
